This handmade, sterling silver pendant is made with a natural stone cabochon. This beautiful cabochon is a rare Ocean Jasper from Madagascar. It is a very popular and collectible stone because of the orbs and variety of colors you find it in. This one has a base color of green with well defined orange yellow orbs.

I made this wire wrapped setting with heavy sterling silver wire- not plated, filled or coated wire. I wrapped this simply for a man or woman. This is small enough for everyday casual wear. I added a small clip on sterling silver bail.

Ocean jasper is a rare, collectible and popular stone from the north-east coast of Madagascar near the village of Morovato. Before the supply was depleted, it was found off the coast at low tide. It was always in limited supply due to the difficulty in collecting it. Ocean jasper is a type of jasper called orbicular jasper because of the orb patterns found in it. It is alternatively called an agate, as well. It has remained so popular because of the incredible colors and sometimes surreal picture scapes created by the orbs. No stone is quite like it. Ocean jasper is one of my personal favorite stones. I am constantly on the lookout to bring you the quickly disappearing higher qualities of this unique stone.
